Question

I have been told that we have to test also the functions created by Cake like add/delete…

If i have a function like this one, how can i test it if it doesn’t have any return, redirect or even a view? ( i use ajax to execute it)

public function add() {
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
            $this->Comment->create();
            if ($this->Comment->save($this->request->data)) {
                $this->Session->setFlash(__('The comment has been saved'));
            } else {                
                $this->Session->setFlash(__('The comment could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
            }
        }
    }

Thanks

public function add() {
        $this->autoRender = false;
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
            $this->Comment->create();
            if ($this->Comment->save($this->request->data)) {
                echo json_encode(array('status' => 'ok'));
            } else {  
                echo json_encode(array('status' => 'fail'));              
            }
        }
    }
